This is shaping up to be my longest sought wild pet rare. I've spent hours flying around both northern Stranglethorn and the Cape, caught more than one rare of every other type available in those zones, but have yet to see a rare Lizard Hatchling. At this point I don't even care if I get it in my favourite colour or breed.

It seems like some of the issue is that it shares spawn points with four other critter types, but only rarely appears as a second in battles against them.

@Aur - Great tip for farming them in the un-instanced ZG. I was having a hard time finding them in the wild. They seemed to spawn fairly regularly here; I found them far more frequently. Had a rare within 30 minutes even!
